Abstract
Tomorrow's vehicles will offer increased comfort and luxury features to drivers. These features will require the use of additional electrical circuits within the same space that is available in today's vehicles. In order to meet these requirements, a new, compact, high temperature wire design will be required.
Insulation utilizing electron beam cured polyethylene offers the required product features, while also offering the processability required for this type of wire. This paper will address why this material is best suited for this task, describe how a product of this type can be evaluated, and provide a comparison between a compound of this type and the current industry standard.
